No Condemnation, Part 1
If you have repented and believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, you can enjoy absolute security in God because He has delivered you from condemnation.
Unfortunately, many Christians struggle with the assurance of salvation. In other words, Christians often waver in their confidence as it relates to their eternal salvation and security in Christ. Paul’s point in Romans 8 is that a Christian’s salvation, eternal security, and eternal safety rests not in human efforts, but in blessings that originate from all three persons of the Trinity. Put this way, assurance of salvation is richly trinitarian.
From Romans 8:1–4, Tom Pennington explains how Christians can be assured of their salvation, specifically because in Christ there is No Condemnation!
If you have repented and believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, you can enjoy absolute security in God because He has delivered you from condemnation.
There is only one way that condemned sinners (unbelievers) can ever get rid of their condemnation: it is through the Lord Jesus Christ who can be their legal representative.
Upon repenting and believing in the Lord Jesus Christ, God changed the verdict from condemnation to no condemnation, because of what Christ did on the cross.
God’s ultimate purpose behind the incarnation and the atonement of Christ was not just your salvation, but your sanctification (Romans 8:1–4).
